If I wasnt so unsure about my immediate future, I'd have sent mine off for you to compare it with yours

I would love to run your saw.

I would love to run your saw.

Probably have it in your paws soon, just have to firm up the next month or two ......... It's getting close to having to make a big decision

I think the 661 with a maxflow and a good fitting cover would rival the 394/395 filtration

You can go weeks sometime on a husky filter. They stay so clean you forget to clean them. The max flow may filter fines better though.

Until I get more time on one to say it's got the 395 power I'm unsure. My main use for a 90cc pcc saw is milling so I'd like to get a few cuts on one. The lower rpm mtronic coil may be best for that. The higher rpm one is probably better for short bar stuff. I do want to see an unlimited one with a good chain in some cants.

I have a funny feeling that the 661 maxflow is going to be the same way

I am. I've been up since 230 this morning. Made a mandrel, swapped cases for the 2165 to use for an xpw top end and got the 365 ready for the other xpw top end before any one woke up.

 

[Moparmyway]

I hope so.

Umm...........
yeah..............
me too..............
I "hope" it works as well

Not trying to derail ur 460 thread but i need help on my 046 and figured you still guys will know. Tried to run it yesterday and its not oiling. Tried to adjust and no good. Took bar and guide plate off and started saw and it def not oiling. Took oiler off and made sure tubes and oil pasages and vent are not stopped up. All looks to be good. So is there any way to verify its the pump other than putting a new pump on it? (Worm gear looks good and bell is catching and turning it good)

 

[Moparmyway]

Did you check the screen / filter inside the tank at the end of the hose ?

 

[jmssaws]

The wire drive could be slipping on the worm gear. Seen it many times

 

[mdavlee]

Spray the oiler down good with brake cleaner or something. They can get a little clogged.

Yes. All clear

Could be but when i am turning by hand with oiler off it spits bubbles. The bell seems to be on the wire good but will double ck.

Fresh build so its pretty clean

Fresh build so its pretty clean

Make sure it's not bent a little. I had one quit oiling and break the drive gear.

 

[jmssaws]

Fill the tank with diesel and run it

Fill the tank with diesel and run it

Really? What will that do

 

[jmssaws]

Really? What will that do

Flush it out.

 

[jmssaws]

It's very rare for a oiler to quit so it's probably stopped up.

 

[Landmark]

Ok. Wil give it a try
